Automatic Save after Add or Update

I use a thumb drive to store my KeePass data. Sometimes I forget that I have changed the database and close KeePass without saving. I've also had power outages catch me with unsaved data.

I looked through the Help and other screens for some way to automatically do a database save after every add, change or delete action. If there is such an option, I couldn't find it under Tools > Options or in any of my searching. If such an option exists, could someone please tell me how to find it. If it doesn't exist, how do I go about making a change request?

You can implement an Auto-Save using triggers. It is also useful to be able to turn the Auto-Save feature ON and OFF using a custom toggle button. I have provided a set of five triggers that accomplish this. The triggers are generalized for the active database so they should not need modification. If you already use custom buttons, the "On KeePass start: Load Auto Save button, initialize" should be the last button loaded. You should be able to copy and paste the triggers below directly into your trigger system. To paste into the Triggers dialog: press the Tools button (lower left corner)
